The Division of Urban Habitat

Barriers, prohibition signs, inaccessible surfaces. The urban habitat created by mankind is full of individual parts. One could call these situations staged spectacles of post-industrial society. In any case, they are constructions of the urban, western European space. The impenetrability of our cities fascinates me; I have the feeling that more doors are being closed to me than opened. Signs are everywhere, brittle glass lies on the ground, and the cold concrete seems repulsive and bulky, yet in a certain way it is attractive. This impenetrability led me to wonder how we perceive our immediate environment. Is the way how our surroundings are constructed actually serving human beings?

The Project was part of the Graduate Exhibition #29 SILVER_LININGS from October to November 2021 at the Neue Schule für Fotografie in Berlin.
